Gene Cowette, who was intoxicated, also made several verbal threats to police when they responded shortly after 1 p.m., according to Sgt. Paul Edwards.

“He threatened to assault the officers several times,” Edwards said.

Staff at the Community Health and Counseling building had asked Cowette to leave multiple times, and police were called when he refused to do so, Edwards said. Officers gave him a criminal trespass warning and he left.
